Abstract
The HERA-B collaboration intends to obtain a first measurement of CP-v iolation in B decay by studying B-mesons produced in proton-nucleus co llisions in a wire target positioned in the halo of the 820 GeV HERA p roton ring. A high interaction rate coupled with the low rate of B-mes on production place particularly stringent demands on the trigger. The goals and design of the HERA-B trigger system are discussed.
